The Golf GTE Plug-in Hybrid

The Golf GTE Plug-in Hybrid is already fitted with visibly dynamic IQ.LIGHTs - LED Matrix headlights as standard that stretch all the way round to the side wings, while sleek LED tail light clusters dominate at the rear. Your Golf GTE Plug-in Hybrid's extra powerful IQ.LIGHT - LED Matrix headlights are fitted with the “Dynamic Light Assist” main-beam control to light up the road. IQ.LIGHTs also display innovative dynamic turn signals that use an animated strip of lights to show which way you are turning.

Understated or extravagant– which do you prefer? With the choice of wheels for the Golf GTE Plug-in Hybrid, you can enhance your personal style with this impressive model.

Fog, heavy snowfall or rain? The standard LED front fog lights that come in the new 5-honeycomb design and are built into the bumper, provide additional light. Turn them on and the world will look pretty different. Not only that, your Golf GTE Plug-in Hybrid will look even more striking.

With exterior background lighting fitted as standard, your new Golf GTE Plug-in Hybrid will welcome you before you’ve even stepped inside. Operate your remote control key or simply approach the vehicle thanks to Keyless Access with SAFELOCK, fitted as standard, and the vehicle's headlights and tail lights will light up. The door handle recesses and a blue strip in the radiator grille will also light up and your new Golf GTE Plug-in Hybrid will welcome you with light projected out of the exterior mirrors onto the floor.

Why fuel with petrol when electricity is cheaper? With the Golf GTE Plug-in Hybrid, you can charge the battery for your electric motor easily using a normal domestic socket. After no more than 5 hours, the liquid-cooled lithium-ion rechargeable battery is fully charged and gives you a range of up to 62 kilometres (as per NEDC)*. With the optional wallbox or at a public charging station, including the optional Mode 3 Type 2 charging cable, the battery can reach a full charge in as few as 3 hours and 40 minutes.

* Depending on your driving style and the power required by internal consumers such as air conditioning or lighting. In this way you can drive many everyday routes cheaply and, above all, free of emissions on a local level – day after day.

Full power: When using the “Boost” function, the electric motor works in conjunction with the TSI direct injection petrol engine. This means that the power from both drive units is consolidated and you have access to extra torque. The function can be selected in “Hybrid/Sport” mode – meaning that the full power of your Golf GTE Plug-in Hybrid is just a button touch away.

The DSG dual clutch gearbox with its brand new smaller selector lever guarantees fun behind the wheel without any interruptions. That’s because you can change seamlessly between the gears and even reduce your fuel consumption. Pressing on the selector lever enables you to easily select your chosen driving mode, which is then activated via the electrically connected shift-by-wire gearbox. Particularly handy in a traffic jam: When combined with the optional Travel Assist feature, the system can help you to pull away and brake with ease.

Who would have thought that a “electronic differential lock XDS+” could bring such a broad smile to your face? This is precisely what happens in the Golf GTE Plug-in Hybrid. That’s because the standard XDS+ delivers more traction, which helps you to feel safe when cornering. For example, the precise application of pressure to one side results in sportier, faster and more accurate cornering, so it comes as no surprise that you feel yourself start to smile when you spot a curve i n the road ahead.
